Now that I've used it a bit more, another question comes up. I just defined
some new colors that correspond to the new gray colors, and tried to render the
file in LPub. However, the bricks that I had assigned my new colors to all came
out as plain gray. Does LPub recognize colors other than the standard colors or
"custom" colors? (For instance, for a previous model, I added a custom color
for Sand Green. In MLcad those pieces showed that the color was unused, but the
file rendered correctly in LPub.)
